I think that the vet might be kinda right. You certainly don't want your puppy to have seperation anxiety. My Jersey is 6 1/2 months for the most part only plays with one of our cats and only when the cat is in the mood. He is mostly in the same room as I am, when possible, and does entertain himself the majority of the time. I want him to be a little independent. He has lots of toys to play with and I also do play with him, but not all of the time! When he gets tired of playing and want to curl up to sleep or rest, I put him in his crate. I want him to realize that he will be in his crate at times. So far with him, and with my other dogs, this has worked really well for me.
